The symptoms can be related to an infection of the would.
I suggest cleaning area and cover it with silver sulfadiazine.
I also suggest to cover the burn with a sterile gauze.
If you have pain or fever, you can use Ibuprofen to relieve it.
If the symptoms continue, you may need oral antibiotics to treat the infection.
